NWN Survey: What Virtual Reality Headset Do You Most Want to Buy (Or Have Already Bought)?

Just in time for the holidays, a new survey. I only included the most prominent HMDs to avoid getting swamped, but please feel free to write in your own.

And yes, I consciously didn't include Microsoft HoloLens or Magic Leap or other augmented reality-focused HMDs, as that's a slightly different question. (And survey!)

Results shared next week!

HTC Vive by far

So far there isn't any content to make any worthwhile.

I am really liking how the Vive is looking with Steam and small area VR stuff, but I'll probably get an Oculus just because all the software I'm interested in is built for DK2. I'm also pretty excited to pick up a GearVR once I upgrade my cellphone.

I own an Oculus Rift Development Kit 2. For consumer VR, I'll be waiting to see the reviews between Rift CV1 and HTC Vive. I'm personally conflicted and can't afford both. Just like the old console wars, it will be the exclusive launch titles that will play a bigger role in my decetion than the technical specs of the devices themselves. All this goes without saying that I'm only interested in VR for gaming.

I have Google Cardboard, but I still need to get a proper headset to use it! And I would love to get it to run SL somehow (I'll get there I guess).

Vive looks seriously cool, but doesn't it assume that you'll have to clear out a whole room to walk around in?

My main interest is in the FOVE VR. I think the eye tracking feature will be great.
